In the mid-aughts, some brilliant minds at Taco Bell and Mountain Dew came up with an idea. What if Taco Bell only offered an exclusive Mountain Dew flavor at its locations?
By 2004, the partnership was ready to unveil its creation, a tropical punch variant of the Dew called Baja Blast. It has since become a popular menu item at the Bell. Fiesta Potatoes and the Mexican Pizza demonstrate that when Taco Bell scores a hit with fans, theyâre passionate about it.
Mountain Dew has now taken its popular Baja Blast and turned it into a hot sauce created in partnership with iBurn, a Houston-based specialty spicy grocer. In a statement shared with Food & Wine, Baja Blast combines the âiconic tropical lime flavor of the beloved Mtn Dew Baja Blast with habanero peppers, green chiles, and jalapeño peppers.â
